Why Fall Cleanup Makes a Big Difference
It’s easy to think a few leaves or dead plants can wait, but skipping your fall yard cleanup can actually lead to bigger problems. Leaving debris on your lawn invites pests, disease, and mold while blocking sunlight and air from reaching your grass.
Here’s why homeowners and property managers across Chicago call us for seasonal cleanup:
Too Many Leaves to Manage: A rake and a few yard bags only go so far. We bring the tools, tarps, and crew to clear it all quickly and completely.
Prep Beds for Winter: Removing spent plants, cutting back perennials, and refreshing mulch helps gardens bounce back strong when the growing season returns.
Reduce Pest Risk: Rodents and insects love leaf piles and yard clutter. Cleaning up now keeps them from settling in all winter long.
Get Ahead of Spring Maintenance: A thorough fall cleanup saves you from a bigger mess when the snow melts and helps your yard come back healthier.
Get Your Yard Back in Shape Before the Cold Hits
As the leaves start piling up and the weather cools down, it gets harder to keep your outdoor spaces tidy. Between falling branches, dead plants, and thick layers of leaves, it doesn’t take long for your yard to feel overrun. If your lawn or garden looks like it needs a reset before winter, Arts Landscaping and Maintenance offers complete fall cleanup services throughout Chicago.
We handle everything from leaf removal and branch hauling to garden bed prep and lawn debris clearing. Whether you just need a few piles hauled away or full seasonal maintenance, we’ll take care of the dirty work so your property looks clean, safe, and ready for what’s next.
Our fall yard cleanups help prevent damage during winter and make sure your lawn starts off strong in the spring. If your yard’s buried in leaves or you’re just ready to hand off the heavy lifting, we’re here to help.

Full-Service Fall Cleanup in Chicago
Every yard is different, which is why we offer flexible fall cleanup options to match your needs. Whether it’s a one-time service or part of a seasonal maintenance plan, we’ve got your outdoor areas covered.
Leaf Removal: We collect, bag, and haul away fallen leaves from your lawn, walkways, flower beds, driveways, and around fences or porches.
High-Traffic Yard Areas: Areas that get frequent foot traffic or outdoor entertaining benefit from a hard surface that won’t wear out or get muddy.
Branch and Debris Hauling: From storm-downed limbs to snapped twigs and scattered yard waste, we’ll load it up and haul it off so your property stays clear.
Garden Bed Cleanup: We pull dead annuals, cut back perennials, remove weeds, and prep the soil to rest over winter.
Final Lawn Mowing: A clean final cut helps your lawn breathe before winter dormancy. We’ll mow and edge for a tidy finish.
Mulch Refreshing: We apply a light layer of mulch to protect your garden beds through the colder months and help soil retain moisture.
Gutter Cleaning (Optional): Need help keeping water flowing properly? We can clear out leaves and debris from gutters before they clog up and cause damage.
Compost and Haul-Away: We take care of all disposal—whether you compost on-site or want everything removed completely, we’ll make it easy.
It’s tempting to grab a rake and tackle the yard yourself, but fall cleanup can be more exhausting than it seems. Here's why many Chicago residents call us instead:

I’m a person who takes a lot of pride in my landscaping, I’ve tried company after company, most of them made me feel like I was asking too much, was a hassle, or would be inconsistent w booking, when my friend recommended Arts Landscaping I didn’t know how great of an experience I would truly have. Brandon was extremely patient listening to all my requests and better yet fulfilling them! They are also very punctual and catered to my availability. I also really like how they clean up after them selves, no meat over grass chucks anll over my walk way or my lawn. Their work amazing and it’s fast! If you’re thinking of trying this company DO IT!

I definitely recommend all of the work that they do and I’m very pleased. There wasn’t any grass in the space before and now it’s very lush. I hired them to do two of my front bushes and help me get grass again. It was reasonably price and they were are professional. I will be hiring them for any future projects I have.
Andres Manuel
I had a great experience using this company. Brandon came by and talked through all of the areas I wanted work done. I wasn't totally sure of everything I wanted, so he was helpful and gave his advice. I appreciated that the quote was clear and detailed. He priced out different options for retaining walls, which helped me determine the best option for me. Scheduling was quick and easy. I am very happy with the work overall and plan to use them again in the future.
Fadya Salem
I absolutely love this company! I had very large bushes in front of my house that I needed to have trimmed. I tried in the past to work with three different companies and they ended up never getting trimmed because the communication was horrible. But as soon as I started working with Arts Landscaping And Maintenance Llc, the communication was great. They listened to what I wanted to have done and were very clear about the schedule. Extremely professional, I would highly rate them and hope to work with them again in the future.
